About Us

Sea Level Rise Ready™ by Brizaga is the result of countless encounters with homeowners, government officials, business people and real estate agents who were simply looking for the way forward. Time after time, the question was posed, “What do I do about sea level rise?”

The Sea Level Rise Ready™ Program is a collaboration of subject-matter experts ready to help individuals, businesses, and local governments understand the risks of rising seas and how to adapt to those risks.

It is meant to be a partner on the adaptation journey that coastal citizens will make in the next few decades. It is a system that guides individuals, businesses, and local governments to educate themselves, take action, and share their successes with other members of their communities. Adaptation is an incremental process, and just like any other process, it begins with the first step. Join us on the path to a better tomorrow!
